#118 Ash Gardner: Overcoming Fear & Looking Inward 

The news broke that Jai Arrow has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. 
Jai is one of the toughest blokes I've ever met. Not tough in the way people throw the word around. Tough in the way he plays. The way he carries himself. The way he stands up for the people around him. 

This is our favourite moment from the full episode we did together earlier this year. Jai talks about fatherhood and what really matters in life. 

All our love to Jai and his family.

Jai Arrow - What Really Matters in Life | Moments Episode 19

In this episode, I break down Angela Duckworth's research on why passion and perseverance matter more than natural ability... and why effort counts twice. We cover the neuroscience behind why your brain gets stronger at not giving up, the four elements of grit (interest, practice, purpose and hope), why embarrassment and fear of failure are learned behaviours, and the parable of the bricklayers that changed how I think about purpose.

📚 Based on Grit by Angela Duckworth

The Most Important Trait in High Performance | The Psychology of Grit #183

310 pounds, 30 beers a day, half a pack of cigarettes and then one moment at the New York City Marathon changed everything.

Herms watched his girlfriend cross the finish line and something broke open. The next day, he laced up and couldn't make it past a mile. One year later, he ran that same marathon on his birthday.

We delved into the eating disorders, what it actually looks like to start running when you can barely walk a block, how an addictive personality can either destroy you or completely rebuild your life, and why the trail running community became the thing that brought him back to himself.

If you've ever felt stuck, this one's gonna hit different.
